The South American “super derby” takes place this coming Sunday when Argentina host Brazil in Rosario and will be looking to put one over their bitter rivals. Argentina are currently going through a shaky period under new boss Diego Maradona and they currently occupy the last automatic qualifying spot for next year’s World Cup finals in South Africa. With four teams qualifying automatically, and the fifth team going into a playoff against the fourth placed team in the CONCACAF final round, Brazil lead the way with 27 points, followed by Chile on 26, Paraguay on 24 and then Argentina on 22 points. To gauge how close it all is though, it would be prudent to point out that Ecuador are currently fifth with 20 points and Uruguay sixth with 18. With Columbia and Venezuela just behind on 17 points, it’s easy to realise just how big the game on Sunday is for the Argentineans. If they don’t win, and Ecuador and Uruguay win their games, things could get really interesting in the three games that remain after that.
For their part, Brazil appear to be cruising once again for a World Cup final spot. They lead the way on 27 points and have recorded seven wins, six draws and just one defeat in their fourteen games thus far. If they beat Argentina, and Ecuador fail to win, means that Brazil would have guaranteed their place in South Africa with three games to spare.
